In the city

It has been a little over a week since I have been in the city and I can honestly say I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the contrasts I see. The rich and the poverty-stricken live side-by-side. Businessmen and beggars share the crowded polluted streets. I will try to upload more pictures, but this is just one fo the few sights that fills our eyes as we attempt to move about the city. These are the dwelling places of some of the local people here. It make sharing my tiny apartment with 3 other girls seem like paradise.
The is on my second day of class with few of my students. I asked to take a pictue of their discuession group, but they made ginger take it a put me in the mushpot! They are great!

A few of my girl students had me over to there home for a traditional coffee ceremony. I got to put on her dress and headcovering and pour some coffee. The coffee is so good here!
This is the view of the city out of my 5th story classroom window. This is a good view of what the crazy yet beautiful city of AA looks like. And no the is not fog of haze, it is just a bunch of pollution.
